Why You Can’t Just Use a Spectrum Analyzer Industry has an increasing demand for spectrally pure signals in applications such as imaging radar, mobile communications, satellite communications, weather ...

Measuring phase noise with a spectrum analyzer. The primary advantage of dedicated phase-noise analyzers. The cross-correlation method. Using a spectrum analyzer is the oldest, most straightforward, ...

The wireless communication industry is moving toward higher RF frequencies and data rates through more complex modulation and wider modulation bandwidths. Successful emerging broadband wireless ...

Measuring phase noise at very small offsets from the carrier (“close-in” phase noise) is challenging for two reasons. First, a very narrow resolution bandwidth is required to avoid measuring the ...
